    Any major difference between 2007 and 2008 997?

    Getting ready to place an order for C4S cab/x51, crystal silver, gray top, terracota, with aluminum finish. Are there any major changes anybody knows between 07/08? Also is the 26 hp you get with x51 worth 16,900 USD.;q

    I don't know of the exact changes between the 07/08 but as for the X51 I think it is worth it overall. I would rather have a performance upgade by Porsche done to my car at the factory then have one done elsewhere. Even if you go to an aftermarket place and get more hp or a lower price I would perfer to have the one by Porsche. That is just my feeling. Now is the X51 worth 17K US? My answer is no but I don't think the 997 is worth 100K either. But even with its high price I still bought one

    If I was in the market and price was no object I would love to have a C4S Cab with X51. That would be killer. Now your price is going to get close to a 997TT but to me the drop top is the way to go. I sure many will disagree

    Don't know if X51's worth it.... you have to make that decision on your own... but I would do a black roof, and the two-tone terra/black interior... matches better

    Here are some very informative discussions on the X51, how good it is and whether it's worth the money:

    Hi!
    Try to get a testdrive on a 997 with X51 and without it. I think then it is for you better to compare.

    Greetings
